Ivy League QB With Economics Degree Ponders AAF's Flop
from Bloomberg Business of Sports · host Bloomberg
Arizona Hotshots quarterback Jack Heneghan joins Scott Soshnick, Michael Barr and Eben Novy-Williams to discuss a host of issues related to the business of sports, including the death of the Alliance of American Football, which ceased operations after only eight weeks of play. A Dartmouth college graduate with a degree in economics, Heneghan discusses the factors that played into the league's failing so quickly. He also touches on how the players reacted to the news and why, in his opinion, Vince McMahon's XFL has a better shot at success than the AAF, whose principle backer was Tom Dundon, also owner of the NHL's Carolina Hurricanes.
